Day 10 – Fire:
Iruka cuddled up to Kakashi, head tucking under his raised chin, ear pressing to his chest.
Tsunade-sama had finally allowed him to bring Sasuke and Kakashi home with him on the proviso that they got some bed rest.
When the last Uchiha and Hatake had snorted softly in response Iruka had glared at the pair which was sufficient to cow them both into silence.
Now, he'd tucked both boys into their own beds with a degree of fuss, the tree that had stood twinkling happily in the corner of their hospital room now filled the small gap Iruka had made in the apartment near the fire he and Kakashi were cuddled up next to.
He wasn't cold but he shifted to get closer to the Jounin who lay happily, drowsing near the warmth and the quiet crackle of the wood creaking as it snapped and settled under the flames.
